I'm Amy the Ideal Home team's Sleep Editor. I put all manner of products through their paces to find the top recommendations for a good night's sleep, whether that's the best pillows or the best electric blankets. Along with the wider team, I've tested multiple duvets to find the best duvets for this guide –whether you're after an all-season, winter, or summer duvet. Best all-season duvet Don't buy it if: you struggle to sleep without a little weight over the top of you, as this duvet feels almost so cloud-like it's almost non-existent. Obviously, it isn't always convenient to have a different duvet for each season, so the middle ground of the 10.5 tog duvet is one of the most popular options. Whilst often used interchangeably, they do differ in meaning. Hypoallergenic refers to the duvet being less likely to trigger allergies. Anti-allergy means the duvet has been treated to combat the development of dust mites and protect against allergens. So if you’re needing a duvet to fight off symptoms, then be sure to select anti-allergy as your battle player. How to wash a duvet An all-season duvet is made up of two separate duvets of differing togs – one lightweight and one midweight – that can be attached together into one single heavyweight duvet or used separately. The idea being that you can mix and match to ensure you have the perfect weight duvet for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Don't buy it if: you really want to layer on the warmth. This 13.5 tog duvet is plenty snuggly enough, but we think the wool and down options just pip it to the post in terms of cosiness. That said, this synthetic option is far easier to care for as it's machine washable and can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Then there are the more traditional, natural fillingsto consider. These range from all types of feathers and down to wool filling.Although it will mean spending a little more, and may depend on your bed frame height and style, we'd generally advise sizing up with your duvet, especially if you sleep with a partner. Microfibre– the 'luxury' version of hollowfibre, a microfibre fill is made of much finer strands of polyester resulting in a very lightweight duvet with a, yes, more luxurious feel. Some compare microfibre to the feel of down, but it has the upside of not running the risk of animal cruelty. However, again, being made of synthetics, the environmental impact of production and disposal is a concern. Like hollowfibre, microfibre can also cause overheating. Buy it if: you're looking to invest in a great night's sleep, or if you're a hot sleeper who struggles with overheating during the summer months. We've tried and tested some of the best duvets on the market, and in our opinion, this Floks number is the cream of the crop. The wool fill is naturally thermoregulating, which means it keeps you warm whilst also offering great breathability and airflow to eliminate the overheating that can be a side-effect of synthetic or feather and down duvets. Handmade in Yorkshire using 100% traceable British Cheviot wool and certified organic cotton this is also a great eco-friendly option, with wool completely biodegradable. After much testing, we think 13.5 tog is best tog duvet for winter, with most of our testers finding 15 tog can retain heat a little too much during the night and lead to overheating.

Read more in our guide to what tog duvet to buy as well as finding out when is the right time to switch to a summer duvet. What's the highest tog duvet From down to feather-filled, anti-allergy and washable, simply choosing a duvet can be a bit of a nightmare. And that’s just variations in filling! There’s size, tog rating and price to consider too. It's worth knowing what will work best for you ahead of pressing pay, so that you can make the process of finding the best duvet a little more dream-like. We’ve got you covered with knowledge and know-how so you can source a good night’s sleep. What duvet filling is best? Don't buy it if: you truly want to splash out on the best duvet for your boudoir. This option is very good for its price, but the higher feather mix does mean it feels more 'clumpy' than the 90% down alternatives on our list. That said, this is still a great buy, and the addition of feathers does make the duvet a little more breathable than a duvet with a higher down percentage, albeit not quite as warm. Again, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. Emily Attwood, founder of sleep-brand scooms agrees, ''We’d always advise a 9 tog to 13.5 tog for the winter months as this is ideal and will keep you warm. If your house is always on the warmer side, then a 9 tog duvet would probably suit you better throughout the winter months, and you wouldn’t want to go any higher. This will prevent you from overheating which can disrupt your sleep.' Another solution is to opt for an 'all-season' duvet. This consists of two separate lighter tog duvets that can be joined together (usually by way of press studs) to make a warmer winter duvet. Most commonly an all-season duvet will include a 4.5 tog and 9 tog duvet that can create a 13.5 tog duvet once combined, or a 4.5 tog and 10.5 tog duvet that will create a warmer 15 tog combination.Buy it if: you're looking for luxury as well as warmth. No duvet fill feels quite as sumptuous as down, and this 90% Hungarian goose-down and 10% goose feather option is one of the best. It's super warm, drapes beautifully, and feels super luxurious. The all-seasons option also offers brilliant versatility; use the 4.5 and 9.0 duvets separately in warmer seasons and combine when the evenings start to drop in temperature to create 13.5 togs of winter warmth. Plus, although it's an investment, the all-seasons design means you'll also be kitted out with cooler tog duvets for spring, summer and autumn. Don't buy it if: you're on a tight budget as this luxury duvet has a luxury price tag. If you're a hot sleeper or suffer from night sweats then you might find down too warm; opt for a more breathable wool-filled duvet instead to avoid overheating. And, if you're vegan, then the feather and down fill won't be for you. Long thought of as the Holy Grail of duvet fillings, down creates a plump, squishy and super soft duvet.However, that luxury feel comes with a luxury price tag to match.
